When charging with the provided wall charger, does the device (e.g. Nexus 7.2) charge slowly like by usb or fast like by A/C power. Thanks!

The included charger is rated at 1000mA, but my Nexus 7.2 only shows "USB charging", which I believe is 500mA. I hooked it up to my S4's factory 2000mA charger and got the same results. This is probably because the Nexus (and other devices) look for the two data pins, D+ and D-, to be shorted together electrically to indicate that the charger is high output capable. Since the Slimport adapter uses these two pins to transmit video data, they can't be shorted together and therefore the charger is limited to 500mA. That's not really Patuoxun's fault, it's just a limitation of the technology so any other Slimport adapter is likely to do the same thing. I hear that Slimport doesn't use as much power as MHL adapters, so this charge rate may be enough to keep the battery at whatever level you start with, or it may go up or down slightly. Haven't used it yet enough to find out.

It works fine. I have no problem charging mine via a wall outlet..it's the only way I've charged it. Hope this helps!

In my experience it charged a device just a bit slower then a regular wall charger. Also, with the unit fully charged, it charged up an iphone 4s from 26% to 100%, and an ipad 2 from 23% to 59% and then died. So I got one full phone charge and half a tablet charge out of it.

i charge my DROID 4 and my Android 3.0 tablet with it, and yes it works well. it charges slower than a wall unit, but that's to be expected, as it runs at a lower amperage. it will actually charge itself under my construction lamp i have in my basement. just don't leave it on ur dashboard.

Not sure for the nexus 7, but for the galaxy s3 I would say its faster than a standard usb on the high output but as fast as a AC charger

I use it with a Nexus 7 (stock 4.3) and it will charge while connected to a usb device. The status bar doesn't indicate that it is charging, but it does charge at a slow rate (Maybe 500mA).

Well mines didn't , as long as you used the charger that it came with it should be charging properly . When I tried to use another usb it started to charge slow.

Yes but bit slower. It's only a shared 3.1A device, 15W, so the max. load will be cut in half -> slower charging. Not terrible however, because there are much worse chargers with fake 2.0A giving only 0.7 per port. I recommend a strong parallel charger with 24+W for those who have hungry devices (iPad, Galaxy Note, all tablets and phablets..).

Agree that it's slow. I'm also looking for a faster charger. I have heard good things about this one? Anker 20W Dual-Port USB Wall Charger / Portable Travel Charger with PowerIQ Technology for iPhone 6 Plus 5s 5c 5; iPad Air mini; Galaxy S5 S4; Note ...

I've had a couple of problems with different plugs recently. It has said "plugged in, not charging." In hoping it doesn't like the cord rather than it being a problem.Update...My Enercell cord does not charge the tablet. My Google Nexus 4 cord and the ASUS supplied cord do charge the tablet.

It doesn't come with ac wall charger. But you can use any charger with micro USB. I used an old blackberry charger

Cj, my problem was that the nexus just would not charge at all. Slow charging may be a battery problem instead. I am not sure. I think I would start with the power block and USB cords. Then move on from there. The factory charger is 2 amps, but many cell phone chargers will work. They just will not work as fast.

Yes, as far a being capable, it will fast charge if your wall part is capable. (the part you plug this into the wall) Without a wall part being able to charge at 2 amps, (fast charge) it will only do normal charge (about 1 amp)

I you have, say, a tablet or phone charger where you can unplug the USB cable and have the AC wall adapter seperate, you can use it to charge this device. Just take the wall adapter and plug a microUSB cable into the device and it will charge (you can use the microUSB cable that comes with e devce or use one that you use for your phone or tablet etc.)

It comes with a USB 2.0 to mini USB chord, very short. No, I don't think you can charge from the device, unless it's a laptop or a tablet with a regular USB connection like the surface. It doesn't come with a wall charger either.

We are very pleased with our unit and it's performance, but have no experience charging Nexus 7. There are so many adapters provided with it though that it seems unlikely that there would not be the connector you would need. Even if yours is a specialty item, I would think that there would be some additional item available through the company to "adapt" the adapter if necessary. You will not believe the variety of connections possible with what is provided!

Not sure but my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 only charge reliably while horizontal. The Nexus 5 would heat up often if not placed just right in the vertical position. After a couple of times of not getting it right in the middle of the night, I just started using it horizontally and it works fine.
